Port Monitor
The Port Monitor option is a diagnostic tool that can be used to review the actual data
being transmitted to, or received by the Local (LAN) unit. This can be especially useful
in determining where a transmission failure is occurring.
When monitoring is started, a hex display of each transmission, may be viewed as it
occurs. The number of packets that are displayed is determined by the value given at
the Number of bytes to display for each packet prompt. When attempting to
determine a transmission problem, it may be useful to print the hex displays for further
analysis.
NOTE: The Port Monitor should only be used for installation verification and
PPP negotiation verification. Under normal operation the Port Monitor should
not be used as it will decrease performance.
